Simple Physics: From the Atomic Nucleus to the Edge of the Universe

Join legendary physics lecturer Professor Walter Lewin as he takes you on a hands-on journey through the everyday wonders of the physical world. In Simple Physics, you’ll rediscover Newton’s laws, experience the Doppler effect, and probe Bernoulli’s equation—all through captivating classroom experiments and playful demonstrations that require no heavy math. Lewin and co-author Warren Goldstein aim to reveal “the elegance and beauty of physics” by showing how the same forces govern falling objects, changing weights in elevators, and why you’re a hair’s breadth taller when lying down. Packed with humor, personal anecdotes, and mind-blowing experiments, this book makes fundamental concepts accessible and unforgettable
